He also called for the resignation of Chief Election Commissioner Gyanesh Kumar and the cancellation of the Special Intensive Revision (SIR) of electoral rolls. The SIR process has sparked debate over its impact on voter eligibility and protest restrictions, with calls for greater transparency from the Election Commission.
